The unfathomable violence wiped out branches of the Holcombe family tree.

The pastor’s dad, Joe Holcombe, told The Washington Post, “It’s of course going to be difficult. We are Christians, we have read the book. We know the ending, and it’s good. They’re in heaven. And they’re a lot better off than we are.”

Other victims included 14-year-old Annabelle Pomeroy, the daughter of church pastor Frank Pomeroy, who was in Oklahoma at the time of the shooting. Sherri Pomeroy said she took a little bit of comfort that her daughter died with “the church family that she loved fiercely and vice versa.”

Haley Krueger was 16 and hoped to become a nurse.

Haley Krueger, 16, was also killed in the shooting, according to a GoFundMe page set up for her family. She loved babies and wanted to one day become a nurse. Also killed was Tara McNulty, 33, whose friend texted “the shooting was so close to you,” the Washington Post reported. The friend never received a reply.
